About

Drummer from Central NJ, looking for a project. Open to covers, but looking for an established gigging/touring original act. Playing for about seven years, but only recently taken it more seriously.

I've played in a few local acts such as Perfect Crime, Department of Defense, Spinal Remains, and Billesque House Special. Most recently, I've been performing with a Guns N' Roses tribute with some friends, called Bad Obsession. I've filled in on guitar, drums and vocals for many area bands, most notably the Zombie Mafia and B-Rad & Yung. I've played many of the area venues as well as some bigger clubs out of state, everywhere from Starland Ballroom, Stone Pony, the Saint, Crock Rock, & BB Kings, among others.

I'm a graduate of the Institute of Audio Research and I currently freelance at AARIUS Studios in Sayreville, NJ as a recording engineer. I also work in several area venues in production and audio.
